And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, 'What is it, Lord?' And he said unto him, 'Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.' (Acts 10:4) And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow. (Luke 22:45) And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. (Isaiah 1:15) And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. (John 8:32) For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light (Psalms 36:9). Answer not the fool his folly, lest you become like him. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. (Revelations 8:4) As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him. (Psalms 18:30) As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. (Daniel 9:13) As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him (John 17:2). |
